Rubrics can help ensure consistent and impartial grading and help students focus on your expectations.
A rubric is a scoring tool you can use to evaluate graded work. When you create a rubric, you divide the assigned work into parts. You can provide clear descriptions of the characteristics of the work associated with each part, at varying levels of skill.
Rubric types in Learn Ultra Assignment
You can create four types of rubrics in a course:
- Percentage-based rubrics

- No points rubrics where qualitative feedback based on criteria only instead of numerical values.

Accessing the rubric during marking
When marking with rubrics, the rubric marking panel can be popped out into a seperate, moveable window. From the rubrics panel, simply click the popout icon. The rubrics will be presented in grid format.
This enables the marker to view all criteria side-by-side with the student’s submission.
Whilst the rubric pop-out window is open, changes cannot be made to the marks in the main screen, this prevents 2 markers making changes at the same time.
A warning message will appear if the marker has not saved the marks entered in the pop-out window before moving on from the task.
